Legal
The agreements that govern your use of IPGuru. A plain-language summary of key points is on the what we do and don't page.
Last updated: a sample for this preview. Final terms are subject to legal review.
IPGuru is a software tool that guides you from an idea to a filing-ready package. It produces documents, research, and analysis to help you, but it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
We cannot guarantee that a patent will be granted, that your invention is new, novel, or non-obvious, or that our prior art search is exhaustive. We do not pay application or submission fees, and we do not patent software. You are responsible for your filings and for engaging a qualified patent attorney.
You accept these terms and our disclosures when you create an account, and again when you upgrade a project. An upgrade cannot complete until you accept.
Accounts are free. A project grade is a one-time purchase, all-inclusive within stated caps. Free-tier deliverables carry an IPGuru.ai watermark, which upgrading removes.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you is limited to the funds you have paid us. We are not liable for any other damages, including indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
You retain ownership of the material you upload and the outputs generated for your project. You grant us the rights needed to process that material to provide the service.

Account details, the material you add to a project, and usage information needed to run and improve the service.
Each project's knowledge base is private to you and any team members you invite. Uploaded files are scanned, and unsafe items are quarantined before anything enters your base.
We aim to keep customer data in-region where possible. You can export your project data, and account deletion removes your data subject to any legal retention requirements.
We use trusted infrastructure and a merchant of record for billing and tax. We do not sell your personal data.

Validation is free, so you can assess an idea before paying. Project grades are one-time purchases. Refund eligibility and windows are handled through our merchant of record and follow the policy for your market. Because a grade unlocks generative work that carries real cost, refunds may be limited once that work has been run.

Use IPGuru to invent, not to infringe. Do not use the service to copy an existing product, to upload material you do not have the rights to, or to pursue unlawful, harmful, or deceptive ends. We may scan uploads for malware and prohibited content, quarantine unsafe items, and suspend accounts that abuse the service.
